Animal Activist Allegedly Hires Hit Man to Kill Random Fur-Wearers

strategically tossed can of red paint wasn’t enough for one Ohioan animal activist. Meredith Marie Lowell , a 27-year-old woman from Cleveland Heights, was arrested on Tuesday for attempting to hire a hit man on Facebook . Her target? Any random person—”older than 12, preferably older than 14 years old”—who happened to be wearing fur . Lowell, who posted under the alias “Anne Lowery,” became more explicit when an undercover federal agent contacted her in the guise of a gun for hire. Lowell allegedly requested that the homicide take place at a local library and that she be present so she could distribute fliers about animal cruelty afterwards.
